Camp

Avery is ready for camping soon! He likes to get out his lawn chair, sleeping bag and "roast" marshmallows in the dining room. He pretends Max is a black bear in the woods.

Fishing Trip

Avery and I went fishing this morning at Fields Pond in Orrington. We started our venture by digging worms in the backyard then headed out to fish. We didn't catch anything, but got to spend some time outside, walk on some nice trails to get to the fishing spot, have a nice snack and make friends with a squirrel.

Tax Deduction

This post is especially for the adult men in my life who share the same humor - Dad and J! Here Miss Paige is sporting her tax day attire... and of course Avery giving her some brotherly love. This morning she started fussing as she woke up in the living room - Avery immediately ran from the kitchen to her side yelling "I'm coming Paige" and was ready to hoist her up into his arms.

Growing Girl

Paige had her 2 week well check this morning. She now weighs in at 8lbs 9oz - she's gained a pound since birth! Needless to say, she likes to eat! And yes, this really is Paige. She's using her big brother's towel... and looks a lot like Mr. A did when he was this age!

Spring

The snow is finally starting to disappear, and all the talk about putting up the swing set and cooking outside on the grill are beginning to sound more realistic. Avery is enjoying the chance to ride his bike again and is excited about the prospect of making cheeseburgers soon.

First Outing

Monday afternoon, Paige had her weight check at the pediatrician's office. She is already back up to her birth weight, which impressed the Doc.

On the Avery front, he's still completely in love with his sister. This morning, while we were eating breakfast, he looked up at me and said "its special that we have Paige." This was a completely random, unsolicited comment by my favorite three foot little man!
